I don’t remember my name anymore, I’m simply Number 42. Locked away, Starved, Tortured, Alone. With only my inner voice to keep me company. Had my torturer finally driven me to insanity? 
As soon as the chance to escape appeared, I took it, my inner voice guiding the way and showing me a world I didn’t know existed. 

How do I navigate a world that refuses to accept me for who I am? 

I am Nate, Alpha of the Wandering Hearts Pack. Our world is brutal and unforgiving, and the weak will not survive long. With the arrival of my fated mate, and I decide to make her Luna. But the Alpha King has voiced his objections, and the rest of our world will fall behind him. 

My mate's wolf is formidable but her human form is fragile. Yet, I know inside her lies something intangible that hints at greater power. It's my duty as her mate to support her as she faces this world and her past. 

Will she be strong enough to overcome it all?

Alpha's Tortured Hybrid Mate

　　The mall was nothing like I had imagined and Becky chuckled softly at the childlike wonder that shone in my eyes.


　　“Everything is so..big!” I exclaimed quietly.


　　“Yeah, it’s the newest mall we have here, so everything still looks pretty fresh.” She chattered happily.


　　I glanced back at the eight burly men that followed us very obviously and grimaced at Becky.


　　“Are they going to follow us the entire way round?”


　　“Yup! This isn’t on Alpha Nate’s territory, it’s actually neutral. No pack has claimed this area, and it currently belongs exclusively to the non shifters, although there are a couple of independents here.”


　　I nodded slowly. So the guards were for our protection, just in case anything should go wrong.


　　“Mmhmm. Casters, witches, fae, hybrids..different races that choose to live among humans and aren’t affiliated with any packs.”


　　I nodded along thoughtfully, taking it all in as we walked.
